Spiritual Awakening: Building Inner Wealth!!!
I have always taught people do not judge a person by the car they drive, the house they live in, or the clothes they wear because you may be missing out on making a spiritual connection that can enhance your personal and professional life. In taking action to remove judgement from the equation you open up channels that allow you to have peace, love, joy, and prosperity in your life. The idea of the fancy car at one time did appeal to me, however through the spiritual awakening process I have learned you can not eat the car and you can not feed the car to others so having a practical car that can help you be of service and value is the best way to go. As I develop spiritually I continue to realize that it is not about the money you accumulate but what you do with the money that is important. I have attended so many seminars where the speakers focus on the money that they made and how they are going to sell you a package that is going to change your life. Money doesn’t change who you are and how you act. if you were a poor asshole and suddenly came into cash you will now be a rich asshole unless you make personal changes to become a better person. I have learned that if you are of value and service to others the money needed to enjoy your life will come. More importantly when you get the outer wealth you must balance it by having inner wealth. I would much rather tale a trip where I will be of service then simply go on vacation. I used to put a priority on the fancy designer clothes now I put a priority on buying practical clothes and using my savings to help others. I have found when you give you get which was the case when I received The City Of Lauderhill S.A.K.E. Community Service Award as one of the gifts was a brand new tablet.
I have come to learn that inner wealth is the greatest wealth you can have as money doesn’t buy happiness one must be happy internally. Money may provide the materialistic things in life but they will not provide the spiritualistic things that lead to creating a oneness consciousness that allows you to create inner wealth.
As I sat on the bench in prayer at the cemetery today paying respects to my mom who passed a year ago the message for this blog entry came to me in the words Finding The Positive. Through challenging times my mom would find ways to make me and my brother feel better about the situations we were facing. As I sat on the bench all the positive memories started to come back. There was a sense of joy and sadness at the same time. I looked to the heavens and thanked god for all the time he gave me to have with my mom. I thanked my mom for all the great times she gave me over the year. I then wen to my car and retrieved the stone I brought with me to symbolize that I was at the cemetery, I cleansed it in the fountain and then found a place to place the stone and said a prayer. As I started the car I felt the presence of my mom telling me to stay positive.
